PRODUCTION CINEMATIC: Title Card Moodboard

Title Screen Moodboard


Because this week was a shorter week, and filming didn't go to schedule, so I began to work on the title concepts, which are scheduled to be started later.

I took influence from both older and new animated cartoons, such as Tom & Jerry, to Adventure Time. I like the simplicity in the Tom & Jerry title cards, such as silhouettes, and simplicity. I have two title cards on their from the animated Batman, for the simple use of two-tone contrast.

I like the Adventure Time titles for their style, being painted with more detail and stylized, which I feel could fit the genre. More so, I think it will fit the colour scheme of the butter, as the darker tones of the older animation titles do not fit with the comedic mood of the narrative.

The final set of images, are references for both mood, setting and style. The warm in tones is fitting of the butter, the kitchen setting, and the comedy/romance. I like the different styles, some with sketchy, pencil like lines, others simple blocks of colour.

The colour scheme on the side is the butters colour scheme.

PRODUCTION CINEMATIC: Script

Story Concepts

We started off last week being introduced to the Assignment for the semester - a group animation. 

The first step was to begin brainstorming different story concepts, remembering that the requirements within the short 30-40 second animation we had to include one animated character and one live action character, to create an interaction within a hybrid dramatic scene.

Michelle Z and I worked together to bounce ideas of each other and give feedback on what we came up with. It sped up the process and we covered a lot of potential ideas.

I drew up some minor storyboarding to help us visualise the animatic we imagined, and how the narrative would develop.

Following this, came scripting. My initial feedback from Dane and Keat was that I needed to develop the main character more, completing a character chart, and to think how to make my current idea less "commercial". It was hard, and I feel more can be done to strengthen it, though this will be better solved in a group.
